So I log on today, and it tells me I need to patch again after patching on the 5th. I do so, and now my game is in shambles. 3 games in a row have crashed, then the game I do get to play, I cant fire any weapons because all my key bindings have cleared. And the biggest thing that pissed me off, was changing my name. Now, I'm surprised it actually took PGI this long to catch onto it, but changing it, without notification, nor letting me choose what to change it too? You are making it hard for me to find reason to stick around.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your original name?

Worst part for me is that they added another camospec on sale. I think I might be a sucker for these sale things. Oh well I did have 10000mc to do something with..

1) You should be able to copy your old profile over your new one to restore most of your settings. Profiles are here C:\Games\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\USER\Profiles

2) You really thought Smokey McPot was a name that would stick around without being moderated?

1. Delete the program.

2. Re-install.

3. Throw out your computer because you are obviously incompetent

4. Get a new computer and listen to the Violent Combat Robot Show.

Wait wait wait, you intentionally chose an offensive name and now you're crying because it was forcefully changed?

Sometimes I have no hope for humanities future.

+1 to PGI moderation staff for having a sense of humor as to the new name.
Though I don't get what's so wrong with mentioning Pot nowadays. It's legal for recreational use in some places, and medical use in more.

Oh, I know, but you are the only people who listen to me when I complain.

Nope. Hence why I was supprised it took so long for them to pick up on it. I would have happily changed it too, if only they had asked nicely.

It' actually not the first time ive used it in an MMO. MWO is the first to change it though. I guess theres a few more princesses around here. I also find it precious that you still have hope for mankind.

That's okay. Australian feelings are only worth half a person, unless you're a Flaming Drongo, in which case you are 2.43 pubbies.

Don't flatter yourself, I don't like anyone. I hunt flaming drongos, so I believe that counts for 4.86 pubbies.

Well, for one...it's worse than alcohol, tobacco, heroin, prostitution, taxes and terrorism combined. If you can't understand that, you're probably a reefer addict.

Don't drink, don't smoke, no fun at parties.
I do live in California though, so that probably invalidates any arguments I make.

I do hope you were being sarcastic, but some people like that are actually serious...

Lol...I live in LA. There's a dispensary on every street it seems like some times.

You do sound boring though. Nothing a little "pot" couldn't cure.

Ha, the ironic thing is, everyone at PGI does. Maybe shouldn't have put that last part in, but i was still raging at that point.
